Speaker Coaching and Public Speaking

Whether you’re giving a conference keynote, delivering a commencement address, or presenting to colleagues or customers, you’ll want to polish every part of your speech—from the content to the delivery. Because this kind of work is highly personal, we craft made-to-order content and coaching packages to help you to tell a compelling story and amplify your impact as a communicator.

IndividualCoaching

Maybe you’re preparing to deliver a high-stakes talk, or perhaps you speak regularly and want to improve your everyday presenting skills. Either way, we’ll personalize our coaching to meet your needs. We can analyze videos of your past talks and give constructive feedback, or watch you speak in-person and coach you to improve your delivery. While typical public speaking training focuses on changing visible behaviors, we go deeper to address the underlying issues that stifle your performance. Together we’ll help you make short-term improvements and put you on the path to long-term transformation.

ContentConsulting

Whether you need a light touch or a deep analysis, our content team can prepare your talk to make it more effective. We’ll work with you to create your content from scratch, or we can review, edit and enhance it so that it communicates your big idea more clearly. We can also reshape your speech into an engaging story arc. Our writers and speaker coaches will apply proven persuasive communication and storytelling principles to shift audience beliefs and behaviors.

Captivate™Workshop

If you’ve nailed your content and are ready to practice in front of an audience, this public speaking workshop is for you. You’ll deliver your talk four times throughout the day and receive feedback and coaching to help you emulate the traits of the world’s best speakers: dynamism, comfort, and empathy.
